    Hummus with Beetroot Powder (Pink Hummus). My beetroot hummus recipe with tahini is super easy to make and loaded with good for you healthy ingredients!

    My Hummus with Beetroot Powder Recipe is:

    • Easy to make!
    • Smooth & creamy
    • Healthy for you
    • Loaded with fiber
    • Healthy Arabic recipe 🙂
    • Naturally gluten free, dairy free, vegan

    Hummus has become one of my favorite things to eat! It is so easy to just pull out of the fridge with some pita bread for a quick snack. Unlike other quick snacks, it has so many health benefits! Try my healthy traditional hummus!

    WHAT IS PINK HUMMUS MADE OF?

    Pink beetroot powder hummus is made of steamed soft chickpeas, fresh lemon, tahini, olive oil, water, sea salt, ground cumin, and beetroot powder.

    IS HUMMUS HEALTHY?

    Yes!! Pink hummus is LOADED with healthy benefits. One of the top health benefits of hummus is its fiber content which is excellent for your gut health.

    BEETROOT POWDER HUMMUS HEALTH BENEFITS

    • Chickpeas are an excellent source of fiber! They are a hearty fiber that will feed the friendly bacteria in your gut! Plus, they have plant based proteins!
    • Lemons as we all know are very high in vitamin C! Vitamin C is needed for your immune system!
    • Tahini is made from ground up sesame seeds. This is a good source of healthy fats needed for skin integrity.
    • Olive oil is another healthy fat source! Long used by the Middle Easterner's to reap the health benefits.
    • And I added beetroot powder to give it an extra kick of color and antioxidants! Pretty and healthy!

    TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST CREAMY HUMMUS WITH BEETROOT POWDER

    STEAM DRIED CHICKPEAS. Make your own chickpeas for hummus by pressure cooking dried chickpeas to soft steamed chickpeas.

    USE HIGH QUALITY INGREDIENTS. Tahini, olive oil, etc. All of these will make or break your hummus so make sure to purchase high quality ingredients.

    BLEND FOR A LONG TIME. It might seem like your blender or food processor is running forever, but keep blending your hummus until it is smooth, fluffy, and creamy.

    HOW TO MAKE BEETROOT POWDER HUMMUS

    STEP 1: STEAM CHICKPEAS

    You can definitely used canned chick peas in this recipe. But, it is more traditional to make it with home made chick peas. And, the home made chick peas taste a lot better!

    I like to soak my dry chick peas overnight or for up to 3 days before I cook them. This helps to soften the tough fibers.

    Then, I drain and rinse my chick peas. I add them to my instant pot along with filtered water. I cover the soaked beans with an inch of water above them. Then I sprinkle a generous amount of smoked paprika on top.

    Just cover your instant pot and pressure cook them for approximately 25 minutes. Use the natural release method to ensure that they are in the steam and become very soft.

    STEP 2: MAKE PINK HUMMUS

    Once you have your chickpeas ready, all you have to do is add all the ingredients from the recipe below to a high powered blender! I blend mine for about 5 minutes. I turn it off once to scrape down the sides and get any chunks into the mixture to blend up.

    And that is it! You can top your hummus with traditional spices like cumin and paprika. And if you want to have the full middle eastern hummus experience, add fresh olive oil and roasted pine nuts on top!

    WHAT TO EAT WITH BEETROOT HUMMUS

    Hummus, in my opinion, is always best with fresh warm naan bread! It's such a good snack and a staple in any Arabic household.

    1. Naan Bread with Za'atar
    2. Whole Wheat Naan Bread with Greek Yogurt

    HOW TO STORE LEFTOVER BEETROOT HUMMUS

    Store leftover hummus in your fridge for up to a week in an airtight container.

    CAN BEET HUMMUS BE FROZEN? Yes! Store it for up to 3 months in an airtight container in the freezer.
